and maturation is required.[2] Thus, automating the
process of incubating silkworm eggs, ensuring the
production of high-quality silk, and improving the
energy efficiency of the process are among the most
pressing issues today.
With traditional incubation methods, eggs are difficult
to grow at optimal temperature, humidity, and carbon
dioxide (CO2) levels, which often leads to lower egg
yields. [3] Climate change adaptation is also a
challenge, as it negatively affects egg development
when temperature and humidity changes dramatically.
Such limitations can be overcome by implementing
innovative solutions. Therefore, it is possible to
optimize this process by developing a new design of
the incubator based on the mechatronic system.[4]
The use of mechatronic systems in the incubation of
silkworms qo makes it possible to effectively control
the egg production process. For example, 2 egg
hatching efficiency can be significantly improved by
controlling temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels. The
process is fully automated by obtaining accurate data
using state-of-the-art sensors such as the SCD 41, and
processing
this
data
using
the
ESP
32
microcontroller.[5] With these technologies, it will be
possible to maintain all parameters at an optimal level
and improve the quality of silk production.[6]
This article will discuss the main aspects of the
developed mechatronic system, its components, and
their
indissoluble
connections.
The
optimal
microclimate inside the incubator is created by
ensuring uninterrupted operation of devices such as
the SCD 41 sensor, the TES 1-12706 air cooler, an electric
heater and a ventilation system.[7] These systems 2
help improve the overall quality of silk production after
egg hatching by allowing real-time monitoring of
temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels.
METHODS
The mechatronic system developed for this study is
mainly designed to control the incubation process of
silkworm mo EGGs. The main components of the
system are: SCD 41 sensor, ESP 32 microcontroller, TES
1-12706 air cooler, electric heater, ventilation system
and rotating DC motor. The SCD 41 sensor provides
real-time monitoring and analysis of the incubator's
temperature, humidity, and CO2 content.[8,9] these
components are inextricably linked to create optimal
conditions, and special algorithms have been
introduced into the system to ensure their efficient
operation.
The control part of the incubator system is organized
on the basis of a microcontrollerESP32 and performs
the function of sending commands to all executive
equipment. Data on temperature, humidity and
levelCO2 taken from the sensorSCD41 and are
processed by the microcontroller ESP32. Based on
these processed data, actuating devices, such as an
electric heater or air cooler, achieve the desired state.
This system continuously analyzes all measurements
and immediately takes corrective action when
deviations from the required parameters occur.[8]
953135 1640205 The TES 1-12706 air cooler in the system
operates at high temperatures and quickly cools the air
inside the incubator. The refrigerator helps to maintain
the microclimate parameters at an optimal level and
works effectively at high outdoor temperatures,
mainly in the summer months.[10] the operating
frequency changes depending on the algorithms set by
the ESP 32 microcontroller, in order to increase the
efficiency of the cooler. This not only increases energy
efficiency, but also extends the life of components.

A rotating disk is also installed to evenly distribute the
temperature inside the system. With the help of a DC
motor, the disc rotates 180 degrees, which allows you
to ensure the same temperature for all parts where the
eggs are located. The disk rotation speed is controlled
by a sensorSCD41 and a microcontrollerESP32
according to the established standards.[7]this, in turn,
ensures a more uniform incubation of eggs and
contributes to a more uniform and rapid development
of the silkworm.
RESULTS
Using an incubator developed on the basis of this
mechatronic system, the level of animation of
silkworm eggs increased by 4.1%. This change in CO2 is
associated with ensuring a uniform and comfortable
development of eggs due to the constant control of
temperature, humidity and CO2 content in the system.
Thanks to the automated system, each egg was kept in
optimal conditions in a timely manner, which
significantly improved the recovery process compared
to traditional methods.

The overall yield of cocoons also increased significantly
with this mechatronic incubator. According to the
results obtained, the yield of cocoons created by
silkworms improved by 5.8%. This change is due to the
fact that the parameters inside the incubator are
constantly monitored, and eggs develop evenly due to
an even temperature distribution. This improvement
will help increase silk production and increase
economic efficiency.
During incubation, an increase in the total length of the
silk fiber by 33 meters was noted. This result is of great
importance in sericulture, as improving the overall
length index contributes to improving the quality of
the finished product. This was achieved through a
controlled microclimate inside the incubator and an
even distribution of eggs, resulting in improved fiber
development.
In addition, the continuous length quality indicator of
silk fibers also gave a positive result. Compared to
traditional methods, the continuous length has been
improved by 25 meters with this incubator. Improving
the continuous length helps the fibers look beautiful
and even. This result is due to the control of the
microclimate and constant uniform temperature
distribution.
DISCUSSION
Thanks to this study, the effectiveness of using a
mechatronic system in the incubation process of
silkworm eggsqo‘it was confirmed in practice. In
comparison with traditional incubation methods, the
mechatronic system has made it possible to further
improve the development and revitalization of
silkworms by automating microclimate control. This

The results obtained during the study revealed the
advantages of a mechatronic incubator for increasing
the efficiency of silk production. An increase in the
yield and quality indicators of the cocoon occurred due
to the uniform distribution of all microclimate
parameters inside the incubator and constant
monitoring. This means that using a properly
configured mechatronic system, you can ensure
mature and high-quality development of eggs, which
directly affects the quality of finished products.
Summing up, we can say that this mechatronic
incubator has provided a higher level of quality and
efficiency than traditional methodsko. The system has
shown high results in ensuring a stable microclimate,
which makes it possible to achieve high quality and
efficiency of silkworm incubation.
This new approach opens up promising opportunities
for improving the quality and volume of products in the
silk industry. Therefore, the application of this system
in practice can increase economic efficiency and make
the production process more environmentally friendly.

product quality. This to ' system allows you to fully
control the development of silkworms, which serves to
optimize the process of silk production on an industrial
scale. These results expand the possibilities of
achieving high efficiency at every stage of the silk
production process.

The automated control of this mechatronic system
allows you to create continuous processes without
human intervention in production. By continuously
monitoring the temperature, humidity and CO2
content inside the incubator using the SCD 41 sensor
and ESP 322 microcontroller, the stability of the
process is increased and high-quality egg development
is ensured. This system is very convenient for the
industry and plays an important role in expanding the
product range and optimizing the production process.
Thus, the use of a mechatronic system in the
incubation of silkworm eggs turned out to be much
more effective than traditional methods. This system
serves to increase the efficiency of production,
expanding the possibilities of obtaining high-quality
silk fiber in sericulture. However, it is possible to
achieve better results from both an economic and
environmental point of view, and this system can make
a significant contribution to the practice of sericulture.
Such innovative solutions will be important for the
further development of the silk industry in the future.
